The most important form of insurance for an engineer is Professional Indemnity Insurance. This provides protection if a client alleges that your professional advice, design, certification or documentation has caused them financial loss. It is often a contractual requirement and is essential whether you work as a sole trader or operate a larger business.Â
Depending on your business operations, you may also need to consider other types of insurance to protect your business and meet contractual obligations:Â
- Public Liability Insurance, especially if you attend construction sites or client premisesÂ
- Cyber Liability Insurance, if you store client data or use software-based tools in your workflowÂ
- Management Liability Insurance, particularly for directors or company ownersÂ
- Business Pack Insurance, which can cover laptops, technical equipment and office contentsÂ
- Workers’ Compensation Insurance, protects staff if they get hurt or sick at work
